A gently wooded sanctuary in the heart of Kenilworth, this 1925 Dutch Colonial offers privacy, character, and beautiful outdoor space just minutes from downtown Asheville, Mission Hospital, Biltmore Village, and McCormick Field.
Inside, original details and thoughtful updates give the home warmth while preserving its classic Asheville charm. Hardwood floors connect the inviting living and dining spaces, while the beautifully renovated kitchen is filled with natural light and designed for preparing meals without missing the conversation. Three bedrooms are located upstairs, and the partially finished lower level has its own entrance and full bathroom, creating flexible space for guests, work, hobbies, or a quiet retreat.
Outside, the home opens into a peaceful setting beneath mature trees. The large rear deck is made for morning coffee, outdoor meals, and long evenings with friends. Below, the yard offers room to gather, garden, play, or simply unwind. Together, the deck, yard, and surrounding greenery create a genuine sense of sanctuary in the middle of the city. A backyard shed provides convenient storage for tools, bikes, gardening gear, and more.
Distinctive architecture, flexible living space, a beautiful connection to the outdoors, and a setting that feels remarkably removed from the city make 1 Kenilworth Road a rare find.
